Far-Flung Adventures series.
The story begins in folktale fashion, with a childless couple finding Hugo as a swaddled infant. Hugo's trip back to the land of his birth involves a mean-spirited editor and a story collector, who, like Stewart and Riddell, knows the true value of "once upon a time..." Riddell's playful, old-fashioned-looking line drawings and silhouettes add to the text's amiable feel.

Far-Flung Adventures series.
When Corby Flood and family travel on the S.S. Euphonia, she stumbles upon a mysterious singing creature and a conspiracy. Readers will enjoy the book's offbeat illustrations and humorous excerpts from a fictional travel guide, but they won’t be surprised that Corby saves the day. The authors have created another fully realized world that will appeal to fans.
